Answer:

y = -3x - 23

Explanation:

When a transversal of the two lines is constructed, the alternate interior angles formed by the transversal are congruent. This means line m and n are parallel to each other so their slope will be the same.

Given:

line m: y = -3x + 8 <======= slope is -3

line n going through point (-4, -11) with same slope as line m:

y = mx + b

(-11) = -3(-4) + b

-11 = 12 + b

b = -23 <===== y-intercept of line n

Use the above slope and y-intercept to form equation of line n:

y = mx + b

y = -3x - 23
